These cakes have white growth but it looks different than my other jars..

Compared to the mycelium in this jar and my others.. Any ideas on what this is?? I have Looked at contam images and I can't seem to match this up with anything..

Looks like bacteria.

It's mushroom mycelium, good luck. Wait it out, don't handle them too much. Get a close-up on the left jar, and use a bit of lighting if you've got it.

Oh, I'm not saying it's not mycelium. But that mycelium is bacterial. You can tell by the way it looks like cream and it's pressed up against the glass and expanding.

Since this is a cake you might as well let it go. It'll probably stall but there is nothing you can do about it anyway.
If it colonizes, fruit it. If it molds, toss it.

Yea my Substrate was a lil wet to begin with.. Then I accidently put a little to much spore solution in two jars..
Then I have two other jars that aren't showing any growth..
Guess that's spores for you though.

I give the plunger thingy a twist before inoculations in case it gets stuck and I accidentally shoot up 1cc into a single inoculation point. If the syringe is fresh, I only use a very little bit, less than a 1/4 cc/ml

Yeah, if you got spores clogging your syringe you definitely don't need much.

That's why my jars are so uneven.. Some are almost done. Some show no growth at any inoc point . One shows growth in all but one inoc point..

Yes I agree. The others are rhizomorphic but these two look like white paint..

There have been two threads for these jars. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23628367
The ones that look like paint are no good.

Left jar is bacterial, right jar looks like it's struggling but it'll get there.
